Amanda Edey “This past year she has faced head on a multitude of life changes and health issues in the family. She faced them with grace and love. Amanda never once backed down from supporting those who needed it. I raised a beautiful, strong daughter but I had no idea how strong till this past year. She continues to give unselfishly to those that need help and I am very proud of my girl.”

Shirlee Miller and Marge Weaver “Both are the pillars of motherhood.”

Dr. Douwette Coetzee “One of the most generous and loving people anyone could meet. She has touched many lives… an asset to the community. Douwette serves and uplifts others daily. She leaves a path of smiles and sunshine wherever she goes.”

Eleonore Wlasitz “She and her husband Joe moved here a little over two years ago. She brought with her a love for crocheting and Giving. She has donated several thousands of dollars to the Hospital Auxiliary and Vanderhoof Hospice. She pays for and makes amazing handmade crocheted dolls, animals and creatures which she sells. 100% of the sales go to the charity! At 82 she is still going strong and is a value to her new community!”

Marina Ens “She is in charge of Seniors Connected for all of our Seniors in town. She never has enough funds for projects, short on volunteers and still manages to give our Seniors (and Seniors from Fort St. James and Fraser Lake) absolutely FABULOUS outings, teas, movie nights, bus trips and fun craft days.” “Our Seniors would be LOST for fun without Marina!!!!
